Abstract

Psychological health problems concern an approximated 92 million people universally. That's essentially 1 in 10 people in general. Therefore, it is advisable to create a chatbot to lessen the stigma as-sociated with mental health, giving people the ability to voice their problems, and filling the gap left by the lack of support systems for those who need assistance. The preceding few years have been challeng-ing for everyone all around the world. The global escalation of Covid-19 has resulted in a substantial rise in the number of people suffering from emotional health problems. As a result, people are becoming more conscious of psychological wellness because a single consultation with a psychiatrist is expensive to execute, ideas are introduced for patients to be informed of their illness before scheduling an appoint-ment. The rise in mental diseases caused by loneliness and stress inspired us to create Mindful. The bot is a tool that allows people to converse in real time using developed rule sets or the assistance of simulat-ed intelligence and machine learning.
